Doooood, how many times do you folks have to be taught to read more closely... what Dr. Carson actually said was that Obamadon'tcare is the worst thing since [ not the same as the word than, than being used for comparisons, since means after in time, yanno?]. To be an applicable analogy in the manner to which you wanted it to be applied, even tho it is wrong from the get-go, would require that Dr. Carson would have had to have said that Slavery never happened.

None of that did Dr. Carson say...so, kinda a feeble attempt to assert something that never happened or was even contemplated. Need to work on that kinda tactic, work on it meaning: best just ditch it as a method, it being absent of intelligent utilization.

Just saying...

Or maybe a Hispanic person [ unless it was against a white person maybe? ]... the guy discriminates... he threw his grandmother under his campaign bus in an attempt to assuage potential voters when media finally caught on to the fact that he had, with his family, attended a radical black, some might easily characterize it as a racist church what with its blaming white America for just about all its ills, church for 20 plus years...

Listen, this is just padding your stacks, your mounds of fluff and while every once in a while its nice to slice into that deep meringue, exposing there is not even any lemon gelatin under all that fuzz, it is sort of a waste for the fact that you cannot even comprehend that you have been dealt a hand that cannot win, no matter how much huff you add to the fluff ...with which you try to bluff.

You're almost always factually challenged:

But the pundits have often blurred the distinction between the civil and criminal cases. O'Reilly and other Fox commentators have confused the issue by suggesting Holder and the Obama administration made the call not to pursue more serious charges against the New Black Panther Party members. Perez stated that the Civil Rights Division decided pre-Obama not to pursue more serious, criminal charges. So when O'Reilly brings on legal analysts who paint it as an outrage that the Justice Department did not pursue a criminal case, and the only person condemned by O'Reilly is Holder for not "representing the United States in a fair and balanced way," that's misleading and misplaced. We think it's fair to hold Holder accountable for the decision to limit the civil case, but not the criminal one. We rate O'Reilly's statement False.

AUSTAN GOOLSBEE:I think the world vests too much power, certainly in the president, probably in Washington in general for its influence on the economy, because most all of the economy has nothing to do with the government.

As I said, not looking at your biased "partisan"fact site... read the book, or concede. Or read the book and concede... doesn't matter to me, just the truth matters.

Pure fiction.

Former Department of Justice lawyer and New Black Panthers fabulist J. Christian Adams has found a way to cash in on last year's manufactured scandal. On October 4, right-wing outlet Regnery Publishing will release Adams' first book, "Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department."

According to the description provided to Amazon.com, Adams' book will expand on his oft-repeated claims that DOJ practices racially-motivated enforcement of the law, focusing in particular on his fanciful recounting of the Justice Department's handling of the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case:

Revealing unknown and startling examples of racism and corruption at the local, state, and federal level,Injustice exposes a Justice Department that is anything but just.

Justice is supposed to be blind, especially to race and politics. Yet as Department of Justice (DOJ) whistleblower J. Christian Adams divulges in his shocking expose Injustice, justice under the Obama administration is anything but blind. Here, Adams reveals the never-before-published truth about the corrupt, racist, and politicized inner workings of the Obama Justice Department, as well as the untold story of the DOJ's corrupt handling of the New Black Panther voter-intimidation case. As a former Department of Justice attorney in the civil rights division, Adams has witnessed firsthand how the DOJ is aggressively executing a racist and radical left-wing agenda through its policies and employees. After watching the DOJ continually turn a blind eye to voter fraud, blatant racism, and voter rights abuses, Adams finally blew the whistle during the New Black Panther case--a case that Adams brought to the DOJ's attention and ultimately resigned over because of the corruption and perjury he witnessed leading up to and following the case's orchestrated dismissal.

Michael Yaki, a Democratic member of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission who led the opposition to the Commission's flawed investigation of the New Black Panther Party case, predicted to Media Matters that Adams' book would be "a warmed over-retread of his allegations that never got traction and which an independent watchdog within Justice cleared of any political or racial overtones.

Re: Dr. Carson: Obamacare The Worst Thing That Has Happened Since Slavery

From now on I'm going to listen to my doctor's political opinions - and vote for him, too! - and I'm going to let my congressman operate on me. I think we can all agree that makes sense.

So Obamacare is worse than World Wars I and II? It's worse than the dustbowl, and it's worse than 9/11? It's worse than the Oklahoma City bombing and McCarthy and the Teapot Dome Scandal? Is it worse than Hiroshima? Is it worse than Nagasaki? Is it worse than the Bay of Pigs and the Cold War? It's worse than the Lewinsky scandal? It's worse than the Hoover administration and the Carter administration? It's worse than Jim Crow? Health care reform is worse than all of those things?

Just goes to show how ridiculously slanted some people are. A lot of people who never had health care will have health care now, and most conservatives have no idea what they're so upset about. Having to pay more for health care you don't want is a legitimate thing to be upset about... but it ain't Hiroshima, dog.

No way, say it a'int so, Joe...you mean the politically progressive Media Matters and a Democratic member of the US Civil Rights Division cannot see the merits of the truth in this book, eh?

Somehow I do not find that so hard to believe, at least the bias on the part of MM and Yaki yak yak...what a joke, why even post something like that?
